A Movement in the Right Direction.

The committee on taxation of the Mary
State Farmers Association, met in Balti-
more, last week, and discussed the draft of a
bill to equalize taxation in Maryland, to be
submitted to the association.
The report of the committee shows that
the receipts of taxes from corporations in
Maryland falls far short of that derived by
other States from the same source.
The bill prepared proposes to do away
with the expense of general assessment,
the necessary charges in valuation to be
made by system of annual returns.
The exemptions from taxation are to be as
follows:
Schools for free education, places of wor-
ship, cemeteries not owned with view 10
profit, public buildings belonging to the ma
tional government, the State nd counties,
all real estate TO the extent of mortgages and
other liens upon it and provides for making
the owners of mortgage and judgment liens
pay taxes on the amount invested therein.
Provision is made by which every person
may procure blank from the tax collector
and make annual returns of all property
and investments held by him or her in their
own right or In any fiduciary character.
Sections Q and provide for the revision Of
the returns by the County Commissioners,
with power to examine all persons as to the
correctness of their returns, to assess all per-
sons who do not make returns, and to impose
penalties upon all persons falling to make
such returns.
Section fixes the principle of valuation
for improvements on farming lands, to he
charged only at their true agricultural value
and also fixes the principles of valuation for
improvements on city and town lands.
Sections 10, 10 and II provide in detail for
the valuation of the property and collection
of the taxes from corporations and Joint stock
companies.
Section IS provides for assessing and col.
Letting taxes on the property Of railroad
companies.
Sections 10 makes null and void all con-
tracts and covenants ON the part of debtors
TO pay the taxes on mortgages and judgments
held against them.
The committee also had under consldera-
tion the principle of taxing the gross earn
ings of corporations which has been adopted
in some oftbe States and which has worked
very satisfactory, as well as the graduated
income tax passed by the New York Legisla-
ture. This law imposes tax of per cent
on incomes over $1,000; 9 per cent. on in
cores of $4,000; per cent. ON incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000; 20 per cent. on in
comes from $4,000 to 100000, and so per
cent. on all Incomes over 100000.
The bill proposed embraces many valuable
features and even if all are not adopted by
the next Legislature, still if any Of the CON-
mittee's suggestions are incorporated into
our laws, a beginning will have been made
in the way of equalizing taxation and remov-
ing from the shoulders of farmers portion
of the burdens they have so long unjustly
borne
